But if the iPhone 4's current RAM and processor speed is good enough to run applications quickly and smoothly, then it shouldn't be an issue.
Yeah, the 32 GB max storage space doesn't make sense now that it can do 720p video @ 30fps. I don't mind Apple's walled garden ecosystem, but I can understand why people dislike it.

The HTC Evo is already a better phone in basically every way, and by the time the iPhone 4 comes out they'll most likely have released the Scorpion which has a 1.3 or 1.5ghz processor. Apple rest on their laurels too much.

Most of the new technology in the iPhone4 such as the cpu, memory, and battery are bought from Samsung and the iPhone4's new LCD technology is from LG.

The iPed has just been released in Shenzhen, China and it's only going to set you back a cool $150 or so--quite a discount compared to Apple's asking price of $500 for its lowest model of iPads.
The device only supports up to 16 gigabytes of micro-SD-based space for storing data. However, it allegedly runs on 1 gigabyte of RAM--a wide difference on both ends from the potential 64 gigabytes of space and alleged 256 megabytes of RAM inside of Apple's iPad.
The iPed doesn't run any version of Apple's proprietary operating system whatsoever. Though it looks and feels like an iPad, the product actually runs version 1.5 of the Android operating system (codenamed Cupcake).
iPed sports a 600-MHz RockChip processor (which runs contrary to reports that the iPed is touting some kind of mobile Intel processor) and a screen resolution of only 800 by 480 pixels. Again, for comparison's sake, the Apple iPad's 1-GHz Apple A4 processor powers the functionality displayed across its 1024-by-768-pixel screen. That said, the iPad's 9.7-inch display is a bit bigger than the iPed's seven-inch screen.
There's no indication that the iPed supports any kind of networking functionality beyond simple WiFi--Wireless B and Wireless G support only, at that. It's doubtful that Orphan Electronics, the iPed's creator, will be releasing differing versions of the iPed a la Apple's product strategy.
The iPed is reportedly manufactured in Shenzen where the Foxconn factory is located. Foxconn is the manufacturer of the iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone, along with other popular gadgets such as the Nintendo Wii.

Ever since iOS 4 arrived, your device has been storing a long list of locations and time stamps. We're not sure why Apple is gathering this data, but it's clearly intentional, as the database is being restored across backups, and even device migrations.
What makes this issue worse is that the file is unencrypted and unprotected, and it's on any machine you've synched with your iOS device. It can also be easily accessed on the device itself if it falls into the wrong hands. Anybody with access to this file knows where you've been over the last year, since iOS 4 was released.
All iPhones appear to log your location to a file called "consolidated.db." This contains latitude-longitude coordinates along with a timestamp. The coordinates aren't always exact, but they are pretty detailed. There can be tens of thousands of data points in this file, and it appears the collection started with iOS 4, so there's typically around a year's worth of information at this point.
Don't panic. As we discuss in the video (see link), there's no immediate harm that would seem to come from the availability of this data. Nor is there evidence to suggest this data is leaving your custody. But why this data is stored and how Apple intends to use it — or not — are important questions that need to be explored.
The cell phone companies have always had this data, but it takes a court order to access it. Now this information is sitting in plain view, unprotected from the world. Beyond this, there is even more data that we have yet to look at in depth.
An immediate step you can take is to encrypt your backups through iTunes (click on your device within iTunes and then check "Encrypt iPhone Backup" under the "Options" area).
